Hupu News, October 27, In the final stage of the El Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona on Sunday, due to the emotional control of the players on both sides, the police intervened and separated the players from both sides, and TA fully reviewed the details of the conflict.

The cause of the incident was that Barcelona was desperately trying to equalize the score in stoppage time, and Pedri received a second yellow card and was sent off while fighting with Chuameni.

Pedri's red card ignited the fuse of the game, and the conflict continued after the final whistle. Real Madrid substitute Lunin was sent off for his involvement in the altercation, and six other players were also shown yellow cards.

What happened?

In the 99th minute, Pedri received a second yellow card for a foul on Chuameni and was sent off. Real Madrid players (including Chuameni) expressed sympathy for the Barcelona midfielder.

The camera then switched to the sidelines, where Vinicius, who was substituted, and Real Madrid substitute goalkeeper Lunin were confronting Barcelona players such as Ferran Torres and Balde.

Valverde, Militao, Bellingham, Rudiger and Alaba (the latter two were injured and were not included in the match day squad) all ran to Barcelona's bench. Barcelona's Rafinha (also injured) and Garcia also participated, as did the staff of both sides.

When police intervened to calm the situation, Militao was surrounded and at one point raised his hands.

At the same time, Real Madrid coach Alonso rushed over and pulled Vinicius back. At this time, Lunin was the Real Madrid player closest to the Barcelona player.

Lunin was eventually sent off by referee Cesar Soto Grado with a red card. In the post-match report, Soto Grado stated that the reason for the red card was that "he left his team's seat and rushed to the opponent's seat in a very aggressive manner, and was eventually stopped by his teammates."

Alonso also pushed Militao back onto the pitch - unlike the other players involved, he was still in the game - and police drew a line between the two teams' benches.

Subsequently, Courtois restarted the game and Soto Grado blew the final whistle.

Near the midfield line, Real Madrid captain Carvajal walked towards Yamal and made a gesture that seemed to indicate that he thought Yamal talked too much. Rashford then stepped forward to shake hands with Carvajal, who turned and left. Yamal tried to run towards his Spanish teammate Carvajal, but Real Madrid's Camavinga rushed forward and stopped him.

Courtois then ran over, and he and Yamal had to be separated, with Garcia, De Jong, Casado and others standing between them. With players and staff from both sides looking on, Dias and Torres pushed each other. Militao was arguing with Garcia, while Alonso and Chuameni were at Militao.

Alonso was one of the peacemakers, pointing to his head and making a "keep calm" gesture. Barcelona's substitute coach that day, Sorg, also tried to calm everyone down, while Barcelona's team leader Carles Navarre was also active.

As Yamal approached the sideline, Vinicius came over and gave him the same "too many words" gesture, and they got into an argument.

Real Madrid goalkeeper coach Luis Lopis tried to drag Vinicius to the tunnel, but the Brazilian seemed to be responding to something and began to rush towards Yamal, and was eventually stopped by four Real Madrid staff members. Raphinha ran towards his international team-mate, but Real Madrid's Ernesto Valverde stopped him in time.

When everything finally calmed down, Barcelona came to a corner of the Bernabeu Stadium to express their thanks with the few visiting team fans, while the winning Real Madrid players linked arms and cheered.

At this time, Soto Grado had already shown Lunin a red card, Real Madrid's Rodrigo, Vinicius and Militao were shown yellow cards, and Barcelona's Fermin, Balde and Torres were shown yellow cards.

Shortly after the game, sources from La Liga and the Spanish Football Federation told TheAthletic that no further penalties were expected to be taken beyond those already taken by the referee.
